The Battalion .... College Station (Brazos County)^ Texas PAGE 2 Friday, November 2, 1956 Ike Foreign Failed, Says Policy Adlai By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Adlai E. Stevenson called Pres ident Eisenhower’s foreign policy an “abysmal, catastrophic fail ure” last night. Stevenson, speaking in Buffalo, N. Y., said “two great victories” have been handed to Russia by the Eisenhower adm ini stilati on’s foreign policy. He said the admin istration had committed a “series of failures.” Stevenson’s speech was carried over the major radio-TV networks on free time, to match the 15 min utes the networks gave Eisenhow er for his Wednesday night talk from the White House. Stevenson gave great stress to the fighting in the Middle East, where Britain and France are driving to seize the Suez Canal and the Israelis and Egyptians are fighting in the Eisenhower, i: night speech, had chided Britain, France and Israel, while saying they had been subjected to provo cations from the Egyptians, who have accepted arms from Russia. He said he would seek through the United Nations to end the con flict. Stevenson said the Soviet Un ion, in all the turmoil, had scored these victories: 1. “The establishment in the mid dle East of the Russian influence which the Czars sought in vain for centuries and which Communists have achieved in a few months.” 2. “The breakdown of the West ern alliance. This has been a su preme objective of Soviet policy since the end of the second World War.” The Stevenson speech was a con tinuation of the criticism he has poured on the Republican ad- Sinai Peninsula. I ministration since the Middle East his Wednesday | crisis broke.

DATELINE AYRSHIRE By Ken George Leroy Hyltine wrote a letter to The Battalion that expresses many an Ag-gie’s thought. Who did paint Sully, Aggies or Tea-Sips? We all would like to believe the dirty trick was done by them low-down teasippers but most of us don’t think so. The powers that be will expel an Aggie for painting up some other school’s campus, why not expell an Aggie for painting- up his own campus ? The front page picture on yesterday’s Batt showed two Sophs being hazed by two freshmen. We are for the hazing but what was them sophomores doing out side without hats? Eating in the A&M mess hall isn’t what you would call “Din ing Out” but the troops do have to march over so why doesn’t the Batt print the mess hall menus ? We print the A&M Consolidated chow chart. A Texas playboy visiting New York City was crossing the Hud son River in his 1957 model lim ousine, complete with air-condi tioning, jeweled headlamps, a bar and TV set, and a five-piece band playing soft music from the rear seat. Reaching the far side of the George Washington Bridge, the chauffeur was waved to a stop by a bridge guard. “Your toll fee, please,” announ ced the attendant. “Fifty cents.” The man from Texas, an oil bil lionaire, of course, proceeded to search his pockets for change, then replied, “Sorry, pardner, but I ain’t got a cent of silver in my jeans. How much will you take for the Bridge ? ” LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS by Dick Bibler 0<w Peiping Riots Defy British RIFLES SHOTGUNS T »C-. -* * " ~ j ; '--i n As you can see — We have a wide selection of RIFLES AND SHOTGUNS in stock — If we don’t have the one you want, we will sure try to get it.

Accordingly, I have asked the makers of Philip Morris whether I might not occasionally forego levity in this column and instead use it for a short lesson in language. “Of course, silly!” chuckled the makers, tousling my yellow hair. Oh, grand men they are, the makers of Philip Morris, just as full of natural goodness as the cigarettes they make. “Of course, fond boy, you may occasionally forego levity in this column and instead use it for a short lesson in language!” said the makers and tossed me up and down in a blanket until, rosy with laughing, I bade them desist, and then we all had basins of farina and smoked Philip Morrises and sang songs until the campfire had turned to embers.

Reserve your career decision until you have talked with the Douglas representative. It may be the most important interview of your life. SEE YOUR DIRECTOR OF PLACEMENT FOR YOUR INTERVIEW APPOINTMENT For our first lesson in language, let us take up French, which has often been called the lingua franca of France. We will approach French in a new manner, because, to be brutally frank, the way it is taught in our colleges is archaic and obsolete. Why all this emphasis on grammar? After all, when we get to France does it matter if we can parse and conjugate? Of course not! So for the first exercise, translate the following real, true-to-life dialogue between two real, true-to-life French men named Claude (pronounced Clohd) and Pierre (also pronounced Clohd) : CLAUDE: Good morning, sir. Can you direct me to the nearest monk? PIERRE: I have regret, but I am a stranger here myself. CLAUDE: Is it that you come from the France? PIERRE: You have right. CLAUDE: I also. Come, let us mount the airplane and return ourselves to the France. PIERRE: We must defend from smoking until the airplane raises itself. CLAUDE: Ah, now it has raised itself. Will you have a Philippe Maurice? PIERRE: Mercy. CLAUDE: In the garden of my aunt it makes warm in the summer and cold in the winter. PIERRE: What a coincidence. In the garden of my aunt too! CLAUDE: Ah, we are landing. Regard how the air plane depresses itself. PIERRE: What shall you do in the France ? CLAUDE: I shall make a promenade and see various sights of cultural and Historical significance. What shall you do? PIERRE: I think I shall try to pick up the stewardess. CLAUDE: Long live the France! ©Max Shulman, 1956 Et vive aussi la Philippe Maurice, la cigarette tres bonne, tres agreable, tres magnifique, et la sponsor de cette column-la.
